Took a look at my parts shelf and saw a couple things I could install fairly quickly. So I replaced the coolant temp sensor with an OEM part from Toyota. Part# 83420-20011 I’ve been having issues with my temp gauge reading high when I removed the old temp gauge sensor I found it was cracked...

Continuation of Vacuum Line Replacement: The broken VTV made me go a little crazy and then I ordered bulk vaccum hose from Toyota. There are different lengths available I think I used part# 90999-92004 and cut to length as needed. This was my first experience working on Larry and made me realize...

I really enjoy the all stock OEM+ look and feel on all of my vehicles especially Larry. I’m not necessarily a “purist” but enjoy keeping things how they came originally and improving where possible.

The time my grandmother and I went to Cars & Coffee November 2023: There is a local Cars & Coffee event that has a good turnout and I decided to take Larry to his first outing after getting him started after sitting 6 years. My grandmother tagged along and it turned out to be a great experience...

Thanks he’s my prized my possession and I plan to start documenting what I have done and plan on doing in order of completion during my ownership!

Thank you the patina is my favorite as well! I polished the original paint and it cleaned up well. I hate when people ask, “When are you gonna paint it?” He’s all original and I like it 😂

He had many vehicles during his lifetime easily over 40. He even had steam engines, dragsters, tractors pretty much anything with an engine 😂. The only vehicle he ever held onto was Larry. All the others got traded or sold for money to put in other projects. I think it met something special to...

Yes Mud has been very helpful. I’ve found some people that are somewhat closeby like RetroFive and another guy I can’t think of his username of at the moment. Yet to meet up and talk but hopefully someday. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment!

I will post some pictures of car shows/trips I’ve been on as well as the work I’ve done. 👍 thanks for taking the time to check it out. I greatly appreciate it!

Thanks for taking the time to read it! I plan on posting more pictures soon. I have pictures of most of the work I’ve done already and plan to get more soon.

I actually figured out how to drive manual in Larry the LandCruiser and he has the original clutch still. Only 42k miles. I figured he sat untouched for about 6 years now it’s time to make sure that never happens again. Luckily these trucks are relatively easy to work on. My biggest obstacle...

Fixed! Thanks for the feedback 👍 I kinda threw this together last night before I went to bed. I figured it was overdue 😂

This is the beginning of my thread for my 3/1977 FJ40 named “Larry the LandCruiser”. This first post is going to be a bit lengthy as I go into a bit of the background.I’ve included some pictures of my grandfather washing Larry in North Carolina in the 80s, me at a car show in 2024, a photo shoot...

Did you get to start it this week? did you get an opportunity to start it this week? Just curious. 👍

I have a magazine from back in the day I think it’s advertising “combo 2” as there “The Man-A-Fre 50 Hp Combo”
